However, he did not stay where he was for long.
"Make me wait? How is that possible! Exotic Treasure is here. It is the best opportunity to hone yourself. How can you miss it?"
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
He moved and followed quietly.
Everyone rushed to the edge of the crater, and hot air waves hit their faces. The rocks under their feet were so hot that it was almost suffocating.
And above the churning magma, a red stream of light rose into the sky, hovering in mid-air, emitting astonishing Fire attribute energy!
"That's Crimson Flame Lotus?!"
Jiang Donghua's pupils shrank, recognizing this legendary wonder of heaven and earth.
This lotus is born deep in the lava and appears once a hundred years. It contains the ultimate power of Fire Spirit. For Fire attribute monks, it is a supreme treasure!
If it can be refined, not only will the cultivation level skyrocket, but it can even be improved Soul Force!
"Hahaha! It is indeed a rare treasure!"
Lei Lie laughed, his eyes full of greed.
"If you grab it, I might be able to break through Dou Wang directly!"
Xiao Han's eyes were stern, and the sword in his hand flashed with cold light.
"Don't be too happy too early. Exotic Treasure of this level must have a guardian monster."
The words just fell.
"Boom!!!"
The magma in the crater suddenly exploded, and a huge thing burst out of the rock!
It was a giant scorpion with a red body, its carapace was like a red-hot iron, its tail glowed with a faint blue poisonous light, its whole body was wrapped in hot magma, and its aura reached the Dou Wang level!
"Lava Poison Fire Scorpion?!"
Liu Qingsi's face changed suddenly.
"This thing feeds on magma and is extremely toxic. Even Dou Wang expert doesn't dare to resist it!"
The giant scorpion's scarlet compound eyes scanned everyone, its tail was raised high, venom dripped, and the ground was instantly corroded into deep, charred pits!
"Ho--!"
It made a shrill roar.
Lei Lie swallowed and tightened his grip on the long stick.
"Damn, this is trouble!"
Xiao Han said in a deep voice.
"Join hands, hold it back first, and then find an opportunity to seize the lotus!"
Liu Qingsi The poisonous mist is lingering on the fingertips, but there is a rare hint of solemnity.
"My poison may not be effective on it, it itself is highly poisonous!"
Jiang Donghua held his breath, his body like a ghost hidden among the dense branches and leaves of the ancient tree, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at the battle situation above the crater.
The hot magma surged, a red light shone on his face, and the sweat evaporated as soon as it seeped out.
In the distance, Inner Academy Strong Ranking's powerful men appeared one after another, each breath piercing the air like a sharp sword, making people feel heart-stopping.
"Shua--!"
Three figures came through the air, Battle Qi Wings unfolded behind them, standing in the sky, and the pressure swept across all directions like a tide!
The real Dou Wang expert!
Jiang Donghua's pupils shrank, and his heart was shocked.
"Inner Academy Strong Ranking Is there a strong person of this level?!"
In the sky above Lava Valley, red light pillars soared into the sky, and the hot magma surged, making the entire sky seem to be on fire.
"Ho--!"
Lava Poison Fire Scorpion roared angrily, its scorpion tail swept across like a steel whip, and blue poisonous fire spurted out, instantly forcing the two Dou Ling strong men at the front to retreat!
"Be careful! The poison of this beast Fire Energy corrodes Dou Qi!"
A Inner Academy disciple warned sternly and retreated violently.
However, more powerful ones are still approaching.
More than thirty Dou Ling!
These geniuses on the Inner Academy Strong Ranking, the lowest is Five-star Dou Ling, and many of them are at the peak of Nine-Star Battle Spirit. Their eyes are fiery, staring at Crimson Flame Lotus suspended above the magma!
"Work together to suppress it! Don't let it have a chance to fight back!"
Lei Lie roared, swept his long stick, and violently Dou Qi blasted towards the giant scorpion.
"Hiss--!"
The giant scorpion was in pain, and its carapace was blasted with several cracks, but it was even more ferocious. The scorpion's tail suddenly stabbed into the magma, and then swung it hard!
"Wow--!"
The hot magma rose up like a huge wave, instantly forcing several Dou Ling back!
"Retreat!"
Someone shouted loudly, and everyone quickly retreated to avoid the impact of the magma.
"You're afraid you won't be able to kill him!"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
Everyone looked up and saw three Dou Wang expert standing in the sky, with Battle Qi Wings spread out behind them, and the pressure was like an abyss or an ocean!
"It's Strong Ranking's top three monsters!"
"Do it!"
The leader, the black-robed Dou Wang, shouted coldly, and the long sword in his hand suddenly unsheathed, slashing out a tens-foot-long ice sword energy through the air. The air froze wherever it passed, and a thick layer of frost instantly condensed on the surface of the magma.
Lava Poison Fire Scorpion The scorpion tail swept across, and the blue poisonous fire and the ice sword energy collided with each other, causing a deafening sound.
Between the intertwining of ice and fire, a violent energy storm swept across, crushing all the surrounding rocks.
"What a strong defense!"
Another knife-wielding man Dou Wang's eyes flashed with light, and his figure flew out like lightning.
The blood-colored long knife drew a shrill arc in the air, and wherever the blade passed, the space was faintly distorted.
"Clang!"
The sound of gold and iron clashing exploded, and the blood-red sword light slashed hard on the giant scorpion's carapace, splashing sparks all over the sky.
However, there was only a shallow white mark left on the seemingly indestructible carapace.
"What?!"
Holding the knife Dou Wang's pupils shrank suddenly and his body retreated violently.
At this moment, the third Dou Wang formed a seal with his hands, and countless green poisonous mist poured out from his sleeves, turning into chains like poisonous snakes, and instantly wrapped around the limbs of the giant scorpion.
When the poisonous mist comes into contact with the magma, it makes a corrosive sound of "chichi".
The giant scorpion was in pain and struggled wildly. Its huge body rolled in the magma, setting off a huge wave of fire.
Dark blue poisonous fire spurted out from its mouth, turning into a pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky.
"Retreat!"
The three Dou Wang retreated at the same time, each using their own defensive methods.
The ice barrier, bloody sword curtain, and poisonous mist barrier formed instantly, blocking all the incoming poisonous fire.
However, the giant scorpion's offensive did not stop.
It suddenly dived deep into the magma, and the next moment, the entire crater shook violently.
"Not good! It's going to explode magma!"
"Boom--!"
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, dozens of magma and fire pillars rose into the sky, and blazing fire rain fell overwhelmingly.
The three Dou Wang had to defend with all their strength, and were forced to retreat continuously.
When the fire rain subsided, Lava Poison Fire Scorpion's figure had already disappeared into the churning magma, leaving only the devastated battlefield and Crimson Flame Lotus suspended in the air.
"It's so powerful!"
Holding the sword Dou Wang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
In the sky above Lava Valley, the hot magma surged endlessly, and the red light pillar still rose into the sky, illuminating the entire sky as if it was burning.
This monster emerged from the magma again.
"Ho--!"
Lava Poison Fire Scorpion looked up to the sky and roared, his scarlet compound eyes flashing with unwillingness and anger.
The huge body rolled in the magma, the scorpion tail was raised high, and the blue poisonous fire condensed at the tip of the tail, emitting heart-stopping fluctuations.
It knew that in the face of so many strong Dou Lings and three Dou Wangs, it was afraid that it would not be able to keep this Crimson Flame Lotus.
However, it is unwilling to give in!
This is a treasure that has been guarded for hundreds of years, and it is its hope to break through to the sixth level!
It hurt, and the carapace was blasted with several cracks, but it became more ferocious, and the scorpion tail suddenly stabbed into the magma, and then flicked it hard!
"Wow--!"
The hot magma rose up like a huge wave, instantly forcing several Dou Ling back!
"Retreat!"
Someone shouted loudly, and everyone quickly retreated to avoid the impact of the magma.
However, three Dou Wang expert have taken action again!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three terrifying attacks of ice sword energy, bloody sword light, and green poisonous mist fell on the giant scorpion at the same time, erupting with a deafening loud noise.
"Ho--!"
The giant scorpion roared in pain, its scarlet compound eyes full of madness.
It knew that it might not be able to escape death today.
"Boom--!"
The giant scorpion suddenly dived into the depths of the magma, and the next moment, the entire crater shook violently.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, dozens of magma and fire pillars rose into the sky, and blazing fire rain fell overwhelmingly.
The three Dou Wang and many Dou Ling strong men had to defend with all their strength, and were forced to retreat continuously for a while.
When the fire rain subsided, Lava Poison Fire Scorpion's figure was already crumbling.
Its huge body was covered with ferocious wounds, its carapace was broken, its tail was broken, and even the light in its compound eyes was much dimmed.
"Ho--!"
The giant scorpion let out a final unwilling roar, and its huge body suddenly fell down, smashing into the magma, splashing a huge wave of fire!
Crimson Flame Lotus, completely exposed to everyone!
Jiang Donghua was hiding on an ancient tree in the distance, taking in all of this.
Half an hour!
This Tier 5 Demonic Beast, despite having the home field advantage, was still bombarded by a large group of strong Inner Academy, and finally died with hatred!
He has rough skin and thick flesh, and is full of poison, but he still cannot escape death!
Is this the strength of the strong Inner Academy?
Jiang Donghua took a deep breath, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
The battle for Crimson Flame Lotus eventually fell into the hands of the three Dou Wang without any suspense.
Liu Qingsi, Xiao Han, and Lei Lie stood outside Lava Valley, looking at the departing figures of three Dou Wang in the distance, and they all sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, compared with these monsters, we are still far behind."
Lei Lie scratched his head, his tone a bit unwilling, but more calm.
Xiao Han's expression was still stern, but he nodded slightly.
"The gap in strength is too big, we can't force it."
Liu Qingsi pursed her red lips, a wisp of green poisonous mist wrapped around her fingertips, but her eyes turned to the dense forest in the distance, and she suddenly chuckled, with a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes.
"Let's go and find our junior brother."
"Huh?"
Lei Lie was stunned.
"Junior Brother Jiang? Where is he?"
Liu Qingsi did not answer, but gently touched his little finger, and then fixed his gaze on an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves.
The corners of her lips were raised slightly, and her tone was a bit angry.
"We're so close, what if we get hurt?"
She had already discovered Jiang Donghua!
On the tree crown, Jiang Donghua's heart skipped a beat and he whispered secretly.
"Oops".
I originally thought I was hiding well enough, but I didn't expect to be noticed by Liu Qingsi.
"Still not coming down? Do you want me to treat you?"
Liu Qingsi's fingertips were filled with poisonous mist, and he stared at the tree with a half-smile.
Jiang Donghua had no choice but to jump down from the tree and land steadily.
He laughed dryly and cupped his hands.
"Senior sister has good eyesight."
Liu Qingsi hummed softly, walked up to him, stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead.
"How brave are you? Dare you follow me here secretly?"
Jiang Donghua touched his forehead and said sarcastically.
"Isn't this because I want to learn more about it?"
Lei Lie laughed and patted Jiang Donghua on the shoulder.
"Junior Brother Jiang, you still need to practice your stealth skills!"
Xiao Han also showed a rare smile and said lightly.
"Don't get too close next time. The aftermath of a Dou Wang level battle can kill you."
Jiang Donghua nodded, but was secretly shocked in his heart, Liu Qingsi's poison perception is so sharp!
He originally thought that his concealment methods were good, but in front of Liu Qingsi, he seemed to have no way to hide.
This woman's control over poisons could easily outshine him!
"Okay, since Crimson Flame Lotus doesn't belong to us, let's go back."
Liu Qingsi waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the dense forest.
"This time is not in vain. At least I let Junior Brother Jiang see what it means to be a real strong person."
Lei Lie grinned.
"Yes, Junior Brother Jiang, you have to practice harder in the future!"
"In this Battle Qi Continent, you can only be considered a strong person if you step into Dou Wang."
Jiang Donghua looked at the volcanic crater still surging in the distance, the red magma reflected in his pupils, burning with an everlasting flame.
He was silent for a moment and then suddenly spoke, his voice low but firm.
"Then there shouldn't be any monsters in the crater, right?"
When Lei Lie heard this, he was startled for a moment, then laughed loudly, and the rough laughter echoed in Lava Valley.
"Where else is there?!"
He patted Jiang Donghua on the shoulder with such force that he almost staggered.
"In the aftermath of the battle just now, didn't you see that the magma in the crater was stirred up to pieces? Even if there were monsters, they would have been so frightened that they hid underground!"
Xiao Han crossed his arms, glanced at the crater with cold eyes, and said calmly.
"Lava Poison Fire Scorpion is the overlord of this area. Once it dies, no other monsters will dare to approach it in a short period of time."
Liu Qingsi gently touched his chin with his fingertips, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and then his red lips slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Junior brother, is there anything else?"
Jiang Donghua did not answer, but stared at the crater with burning eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved.
"Since there are no more monsters, there should still be something left in the crater, right?"
Lei Lie blinked and didn't react for a moment.
"Residues? You mean..."
Xiao Han frowned, seeming to realize something.
Liu Qingsi had already chuckled, with a cunning light shining in his eyes.
"Although Crimson Flame Lotus was taken away, Lava Poison Fire Scorpion's corpse, the remaining energy of Fire attribute, and even the poisonous fire essence that may not have been dissipated in its body, these are all treasures."
Lei Lie slapped his thigh suddenly and suddenly realized.
"That's right! That beast is Tier 5 Demonic Beast after all, and he's full of treasures! Even if it's beaten to pieces, there must still be some good stuff left!"
Jiang Donghua took a deep breath, fighting spirit rising in his eyes.
"Since the three senior brothers and sisters have given up fighting for Crimson Flame Lotus, it's our turn to have these scraps, right?"
Xiao Han was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
"You can give it a try."
Liu Qingsi walked forward with a smile, his fingertips filled with poisonous mist, but his tone had a hint of ridicule.
"Junior brother, you are very courageous. You just watched Dou Wang fight and you dare to pick up the leaks?"
Jiang Donghua grinned, with no fear in his eyes.
"Wealth and wealth are sought in danger. How can we become stronger if we practice cultivation and don't fight?"
Lei Lie laughed loudly and threw the long stick on his shoulder, full of pride.
"Well said! Let's go! Let's turn that beast's lair upside down!"
The four of them looked at each other and smiled, then moved and rushed towards the crater!
Jiang Donghua stood on the edge of the crater, a scalding heat wave hit his face, even his breathing was burning, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. However, Xiao Han, Lei Lie, and Liu Qingsi beside him looked as normal. They were obviously used to this high temperature environment.
If I go down now, I'm afraid I'll be baked dry.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face remained calm. He just stared at the surging magma below and spoke slowly.
"You were so close just now, you should be able to see clearly where Crimson Flame Lotus is growing, right?"
Lei Lie raised his eyebrows and grinned.
"What, you kid are still thinking about me?"
Jiang Donghua did not deny it, but continued.
"Crimson Flame Lotus Such wonders of the world, in addition to needing the nourishment of the magma land, usually also absorb the essence of other nearby elixirs."
He paused and spoke cautiously.
"Although the lotus was taken away, there might still be some accompanying Spirit Material underneath."
He didn't say too much, after all, it was just his speculation.
If not, it would be embarrassing.
Liu Qingsi heard this, his red lips slightly raised, and a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"Junior brother, you are quite good at thinking."
Xiao Han's eyes moved slightly and he said calmly.
"It's indeed possible."
Lei Lie laughed and patted Jiang Donghua on the shoulder.
"Okay! Since you said so, let's go down and read more!"
Liu Qingsi With a flick of his fingertips, a wisp of green poisonous mist surrounded his body, forming a thin barrier to isolate the blazing heat.
"Let's go, we've come here anyway, we can't leave empty-handed."
Jiang Donghua felt relieved when he saw this, but then felt helpless. He couldn't follow now!
As if seeing his embarrassment, Liu Qingsi suddenly turned back and glanced at him with a half-smile.
"Why, little junior brother, don't you want to go down?"
Jiang Donghua laughed twice.
"I'm not strong enough. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you if I go down, but I'll drag you down instead."
Lei Lie laughed.
"You are so sincere!"
Xiao Han nodded slightly and spoke calmly.
"You wait up there, we'll go down and have a look."
After the words fell, the three people flashed, Dou Qi protected their bodies, jumped directly into the crater, and swept towards the depths of the crater!
Jiang Donghua stood on the edge, looking at their backs, feeling both expectant and anxious.
Hope you can find something good!
The three of them went deep into the volcano. The hot magma was rolling around the crater, and the hot air waves were almost suffocating.
Lei Lie held a long stick and rummaged around the edge of the magma. The tip of the stick picked up a piece of burnt black monster carapace, and then shook his head in disappointment.
"It's all useless scraps, not even any decent materials left."
With sharp eyes, Xiao Han searched inch by inch along the rock wall. His fingertips focused on Dou Qi, tapping the hot rock gently, trying to find hidden gaps or hidden objects.
However, nothing was found except the rock walls that were turned blue by the high temperature.
Liu Qingsi controlled the poisonous mist and slowly swept it across the surface of the magma, trying to sense whether there were any residual energy fluctuations. But soon, she frowned slightly, retracted the poisonous mist, and sighed softly.
"It seems there is really nothing left."
Lei Lie scratched his head, somewhat unwillingly.
"Didn't that guy say that there might be some kind of companion Spirit Material? Why don't you even see any hairs?"
Xiao Han said lightly.
"Perhaps it has been completely absorbed by Crimson Flame Lotus, or it may have been completely destroyed by the aftermath of the battle just now."
Liu Qingsi smiled softly, with a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"Let's go up and ask our junior brother carefully."
Above the crater, Jiang Donghua is waiting anxiously.
Seeing three people jumping up one after another, he hurriedly greeted them with expectation in his eyes.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
Lei Lie crossed his arms and grinned, but his tone was a bit teasing.
"Junior Brother Jiang, your guess is not accurate!"
Jiang Donghua was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Han said calmly.
"There is nothing but the remains of the monster."
Liu Qingsi approached slowly, and gently tapped Jiang Donghua's forehead with his fingertips, half smiling.
"Junior brother, are you trying to trick us on purpose?"
Jiang Donghua was immediately embarrassed, but soon, he frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and suddenly spoke.
"Wherever Crimson Flame Lotus grows, there must be accompanying Spirit Material, which cannot disappear out of thin air."
He focused his gaze, looked deep into the crater, and said in a deep voice.
"Unless they are hiding in a more hidden place!"
When the three heard this, they looked at each other.
Lei Lie raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? Then tell me, where else can I hide?"
Jiang Donghua took a deep breath and slowly spit out two words.
"Under the lava!"
When the three people heard this, their expressions were stagnant.
Lei Lie's eyes widened and he couldn't help but pick his ears.
"What? Under the magma? Are you kidding me?"
Xiao Han frowned and glanced at Jiang Donghua like a knife.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Even Liu Qingsi, who had always been calm, stopped smiling, and the poisonous mist on his fingertips surged unconsciously.
"Junior brother, this joke is not funny."
Jiang Donghua felt the sudden fierce momentum of the three people, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
If he hadn't built up trust over the past few days, I'm afraid he would have been taken down on the spot as a person with ulterior motives.
"You three, please listen to my explanation."
He quickly raised his hand to signal.
"Crimson Flame Lotus, a rare thing from heaven and earth, will definitely form a special energy field when it grows. That Lava Poison Fire Scorpion detonated magma just before his death was probably to cover up something."
Lei Lie scratched his head and breathed harshly.
"Even if what you say is reasonable, even Dou Wang expert wouldn't dare to go deep into it easily."
He looked under the magma and glanced at the boiling lava, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
Xiao Han suddenly spoke.
"How sure are you?"
